Karl Holtzschue '59 also joined us to explain his class's project—sponsorship of internships for Dartmouth students during their "off' terms. Send Tim your ideas at .

Bob Milbert "has been working on building a new stadium to keep the Minnesota Twins baseball club here in the state. A concept that I developed continues to use state funds to help build new indoor ice rinks all over the state through the Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission. (Scott Mitchell and I serve on the board of directors.) The commission just started construction of a new four-sheet Super Rink in Blaine, Minn., that will house the women's ice hockey national Olympic training facility. Ran into classmate Jay Bennett at the Minnesota State High School Hockey Tourney. His son, Tom, was a senior standout player for Edina High, the winner of the State Championship game. Jay had hosted an old-fashioned road trip including Tom Pugh, Pete Kieley, and Dan Hergott '72 to Jay and Sally's cabin over in Wisconsin. I am sorry that I missed the trip but not the legendary hangover. Witt Fram continues to neglect his law practice for senior hockey, skiing, and now golf. I was with him last week when the shot 35 on the back nine of our local club, even after he bogeyed the last little par 3. (He claims to be a 10 handicapper.)"

Pete Webster "is putting together a group to climb Aconcagua (in Argentina) this winter. It takes about three weeks and $4,500, and is a non-technical, but difficult climb up to 22,800 feet, the highest in the Western Hemisphere. We'll have guides from International Mountain Climbing School out of North Conway to help us to the summit, and it will be a terrific experience." Contact "Weebs" at . Peace.
